Title: Catholic-Baptist liaison.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-46102 CATHOLIC-BAPTIST LIAISON NEWNAN, Ga. -- Father Wilfred (Will) Steinbacher (right), deep south regional worker for the Roman Catholic Glenmary Home Missioners, discusses his work as liaison between Catholics and Southern Baptists with two Baptist ministers. The Rev. Eugene Briscoe (left), state student secretary for the Georgia Baptist Convention, and the Rev. Willard Brown, pastor of the Macedonia Baptist Church in Newnan, Ga., look at a map of Christian denominations in the U.S. with Father Steinbacher. The liaison post is fairly new for Father Steinbacher but not for the Cincinnati-based Glenmary order, which has conducted a liaison program between Southern Baptists and Catholics for about seven years. "We're trying to create a sense of understanding between Baptists and Catholics, because there was widespread misunderstanding and mistrust between them," said Father Steinbacher, whose order was organized about 35 years ago to minister in town and country churches in the South, especially Appalachia. The Glenmary plan for creating Catholic-Baptist interchange, Father Steinbacher explained, has “three prongs" -- two of which are now underway. The basic "prong" is aimed at the grass roots, where Glenmary priests have sought to bring the laity and posters of both denominations together for dialogues. A typical form is a two-day meeting of about 40 people, which includes Baptist and Catholic worship services and a series of group discussions. Another "prong" has been the dialogues between Catholic and Baptist leaders over the past three years and a "prong" still in development would involve a theological dialogue involving subjects of mutual interest, scholarly papers and three or four days of discussion in depth on the things which Baptists and Catholics hold in common and the things on which they disagree.
